 which is of splendid full, double form, is of a pleasing 

 salmon-flesh color; vigorous, free and continuous flower- 

 ing; an exceptionallyfine autumnal bloomer. $1.25 each. 



Mevrouw Dora Van Tets (Leenders, 1914). This, 

 in competition with introductions from Rose specialists 

 from the entire Rose-growing world, was awarded the 

 Grand Prize at the Bagatelle Gardens in Paris in 1914 for 

 the best foreign Rose shown. In color, it is a glowing, 

 deep crimson with velvety shadings; the flowers are of 

 medium size, moderately full; of robust, vigorous growth, 

 and always in bloom. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Mme. Hdouard Herriot. The Daily Mail Rose 

 (Pernet-Ducher, 1914). Winner of the Gold Cup, 

 which was offered by the London Daily Mail, for the 

 BEST NEW ROSE, exhibited at the International 

 Horticultural Exhibition, held in London, England, 

 May, 1912. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, 

 with bronzy-green foliage. M. Pernet-Ducher describes 

 its color as follows: " Buds coral-red, shaded with 

 yellow at the base, the open flowers of medium size, 

 semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, shaded with yellow and 

 bright rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp-red." One of our Ameri- 

 can correspondents, a friend of the introducer, says: "A Won- 

 derful Rose. The bud is long, slender and pointed, the color 

 is like sunshine on a copper-red metal." 75 cts. each; $7.50 

 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 

 Mme. Charles Lutaud (Pernet-Ducher, 1913). A large, 

 full, globular flower somewhat in the way of Marquise de Sinety, 

 but with deeper colored flowers and a more vigorous habit of 

 growth; buds ochre-yellow tinted with carmine; open flowers 

 clirome-yellow, tinted with scarlet on the outer petals. $1.00 

 each; $10.00 per doz.

 color fiom a deep honey-yellow, with soft but glowing rosy 

 suffusion to a soft saffron-yellow; of great size, the largest of 

 its type. A magnificent, delightfully fragrant Rose, and re- 

 markably free-flowering, $2.50 each. 



Mme. Edmond Rostand (Pernet-Ducher, 1913). We are 

 particularly well pleased with this beautiful Rose, which 

 might be called an improvement on Prince de Bulgarie, being 

 of more vigorous growth and warmer coloring; a pleasing soft 

 delicate flesh shaded with salmon, and reddish orange-yellow 

 centre, the flower is large, quite double and globular. $1.25 

 each. 



Mrs. Charles Hunter (Paul, 1913). A strong, vigorous grower with rosy-crimson flowers, 

 changing to a pleasing rose as they fully expand; a very bold flower witli large, handsome 

 petals, produced on strong, upright stalks. $1.00 each.

 flushed red, apricot, fawn and yellow, of good size, and freely pro- 

 duced on erect stems, delightfully scented. $1.25 each. 



Mrs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt (McGredy, 1914). Deep orange- 

 red, shaded bronze-apricot-red, quite distinct from any other Rose 

 in cultivation, a marvellously attractive variety in this novel coloring. 

 The flower is perfect in shape, very fragrant, and is pro- 

 duced freely throughout the season. $1. 25 each 



Mrs. Sam Ross (Hugh Dickson, 1913). Very large, full 

 flowers of refined form, of a novel and uncommon color, 

 shading from a pale-straw color to a light chamois-yellow, 

 with a distinct flush of buff on the reverse of the petals, very 

 sweetly scented and free-flowering. $1.00 each.

 lemon-chrome, washed with delicate maddery-orange, 

 shading to lemon-yellow as the flower expands, the guard 

 petals are tinged crimson -orange; a most distinct and 

 superb Rose. $2.50 each.

 flower, of fine shape, of a creamy-yellow color, the 

 centre being tinted with peach. $1.00 each. 



Willowmere (Pemet-Ducher, 1914). This splendid 



introduction is of a coral-red color, suffused wiih carmine in the 

 bud state, and opens to a large, full, handsome flower of a rich 

 shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre and flushed carmine- 

 pink towards the edges of the petals. It may be described as 

 an advance on the Lyon Rose, which it much resembles. $1.00
